Cards Against Humanity With In-Laws

8-5-14-Cards-Against-Humanity-with-the-In-lawsFor the uninformed today’s cartoon is about the game Cards Against Humanity.  Essentially each player is given several answer cards and one person reads a question card.  The players need to respond with the answer that they think the reader will like best.  Given the adult nature of most of the cards, typically the winner ends up being the one who has the most outlandish response.  Buzzfeed offers some examples.

Therefore, it is essential to know your friends well that you decide to play this game with to ensure that there won’t be hurt feelings or too overt embarrassment when done playing.

When we get together for a family lunch/dinner at someone’s house, many time it includes playing safe games like UNO.  So much to my suprise after lunch at our house, my wife suggested the entire family play Cards Against Humanity.  Not only did this include my mother-in-law but also several teenage nieces and nephews.

Of course I said if I played I would NOT explain any of the cards.  Thankfully my MIL was sitting next to my wife so any confusing words could be explained in whispers.  Of course, my wife had to loudly blurt out every word that she had to define.

Note: All of the answers used in the cartoon are real cards except one.  You have the ability to make up your own cards so one of the answers was offered up by a female friend that she heard in college.  I’ll let you figure it out.

    It is not a very good family game actually 🙂

    Although it is probably safer than discussing politics.

    Some grandmas may surprise us. They were once young and probably every bit as raunchy as us.

      Yes but I don’t have to hear about it. haha

    Bearman, I’d stick with Uno as well. Too much room for uncomfortable questioning with the other game. I’d rather play a solitaire version of it! 😉

      You would probably piss off enough people that you would have to play solitaire version

    I have played this game…never with the in laws, fortunately!

    I think I’ll pass on this game. Well I might play if I’m drinking alcohol. I’m just saying.

    Have a fabulous day. 🙂

    Grandmas should never utter the word “queef”.

        Good lord had to look it up 😯

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          Did you look up everything?

          1. Binky Avatar

            I don’t even want to look it up!
            I need some chocolate.

    I think I literally began choking while reading this! I’ve never played (nor heard of) this game, but I think it’s time to go visit my mom-in-law. 😀

      I too had never heard of this game until looking at this.

      I would buy it–but I have no friends to lose! And no member of my family would agree to play it with me!

        Well the cool thing is on their site, they let you download all the cards for free. You just print them up. For me it was better to just get a real card set.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I was going to use that one but thought it hit below the belt.

        You didn’t have the balls, ah? 🙂

    Wouldn’t bleach sting???
    I now have to Google liver on line & queef. Never heard those terms before

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Well one of them is very common. The other I never heard of until my friend told me.

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        Liver on line only produced medical results about liver problems.
        Queef produced a rather surprising list of results… I’ll say no more

          I just pee’d myself. good gravy, this is hilarious!

          1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

            Liver on a Line is another term for Camel Toe. Look that one up

    This is actually probably a great game. As uncomfortable as it would be, it would probably lower the walls a bit between people wouldn’t it? And if you don’t want to answer something you just avoid with humor. That being said, I would never knowingly play it with moms in the room now that I know what it is. Thanks for the heads up.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      It definitely makes you see your friends in a new light

    I guess Trivial Pursuit is too boring. I have enjoyed the Balderdash game with the family. I don’t think Cards Against Humanity was meant to be play across generations.

      Better stick to Apples to Apples

  13. Mark Stokes Avatar

    The squirm factor would be too high for me to play that with some members of my family.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Just think how they would feel

  14. Dave Avatar

    Oh brother! I do not want to play this game with the in laws. Thanks for the warning.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      That is what I am here for

  15. Chris Simonite Avatar

    I feel your pain, Bearman. Btw, what IS liver on a line?

      1. Chris Simonite Avatar

        Thanks! Could’t even find that one on Urban Dictionary. I must be as out of touch as your Mother-in-Law!

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          Now you are in touch with my Mother in Law..haha

    I’m scared, but hey what the heck.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Let me know how that works out for you.

    My family is soooooo boring – they would never even consider playing any kind of game that did not involve playing cards & now not even playing cards.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      haha…but it is a CARD game!!

    Haha! I’m going to have to look up some of those sayings!

    I would be too uncomfortable playing this with my family.
